Slick and Springy: Brown Research Reveals Protein's Role in Joints
Synovial fluid is slime with a serious purpose: Protecting shoulders, hips and other joints from wear, reducing the likelihood of injuries and arthritis.   view more (2007-04-09)

A possible new phase for rheumatoid arthritis treatment.
The pathology of rheumatoid arthritis within the first few months after symptom onset is distinct from that of the early phases of other inflammatory joint diseases and also of established rheumatoid arthritis. New research published today in Arthritis Research & Therapy found that very early... view more (2005-04-05)

Green tea compound suppresses factors causing cartilage, bone destruction in arthritis
In rheumatoid arthritis, a person's own immune system attacks the joints by activating the synovial tissue that lines the body's movable joints, causing inflammation, swelling, pain and eventually erosion of the bone and cartilage and deformation of the joint.   view more (2007-04-30)

Knee injury causes decrease in lubrication, has implications for arthritis
Researchers have found an association between inflammation from knee injuries and a progressive loss of joint lubrication, which may predispose people to arthritis. They have also found a way to quantify how much lubrication is lost following injury.   view more (2005-06-02)

Hope for arthritis, heart attack, stroke relief found in unique 'acid active' receptor
he fact that arthritis pain and inflammation regularly comes and goes despite drug and other interventions "suggests that additional pathways can rekindle arthritic responses," according to researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.   view more (2005-10-24)

Preliminary Study Suggests Endomitriosis Could Contribute To Infertility
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide preliminary evidence which suggests that the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis may play a significant role in reducing fertility. Endometriosis and infertility are known to be associated, but it is not known whether... view more (2002-10-16)

Using contrast enhanced sonography improves diagnosis of liver and spleen injuries
Contrast-enhanced sonography shows liver and spleen injuries better than non-contrast enhanced sonography.   view more (2006-10-02)

Green tea compound may be a therapy for people with rheumatoid arthritis
A new study from the University of Michigan Health System suggests that a compound in green tea may provide therapeutic benefits to people with rheumatoid arthritis.   view more (2007-04-30)

MRS shows promise as noninvasive means to determine fetal lung maturity
MR spectroscopy (MRS) of choline levels shows promise as a marker of fetal lung maturity, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of California-San Francisco.   view more (2007-05-07)

New proteomic method to detect inflammation in amniotic fluid
A score that measures the proteomic profile of amniotic fluid may predict inflammation before delivery. Researchers from Yale University, led by Catalin Buhimschi, have previously identified a set of four protein markers that were closely associated with inflammation in the amniotic fluid.   view more (2007-01-16)

Intensive training of young tennis players causes spinal damage
The intensive training given to young elite tennis players damages their spines, shows research published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.   view more (2007-07-19)

New developments in assessing fluid flows
Scientists at Oxford University are developing a new Doppler Global Velocimetry (DGV) technique that will enable three-dimensional fluid velocity fields to be imaged reliably and accurately. Over the last twenty years, a number of techniques have been explored to enable clear imaging of fluid... view more (2002-07-03)

Sporty Sperm: A Stiff One Gets the Job Done More Quickly
A scientist who studies the phsyics of sperm "as a hobby" is challenging the current understanding of how sperm swim towards an egg. At the Society for Experimental Biology conference today Dr Christopher Lowe will present the results of his modelling of a sperm`s tail, suggesting we may need to... view more (2002-04-10)

Discovery sheds new light on cause of earthquakes
Research at the University of Liverpool into a large fault zone in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile has produced new insight into how fluid pressure can cause earthquakes.   view more (2006-12-14)

Preterm birth risk quickly and accurately detected with proteomic profiling
By profiling specific proteins in amniotic fluid for inflammation, researchers at Yale School of Medicine can quickly and accurately detect potentially dangerous infections in pregnant women, and also predict the possibility of premature birth.   view more (2006-02-03)

Scientists discover basic defect in cystic fibrosis airway glands
Scientists at Stanford University have determined that the buildup of sticky mucus found in cystic fibrosis is caused by a loss in the epithelial cell's ability to secrete fluid.   view more (2006-03-20)

'Virtual autopsy' helps identify drowning as cause of death
"Virtual autopsy" performed with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) can aid forensics teams in determining if a person has drowned, according to a study published in the June issue of Radiology.   view more (2007-05-29)

Fluid displacement from legs to neck can lead to obstructive sleep apnea
When a person lies down, a small amount of fluid displaced from the legs to the base of the neck can narrow soft tissue around the throat and increase airflow resistance in the pharynx by more than 100 percent, predisposing the person to obstructive sleep apnea.   view more (2006-12-18)

Scientists find potential stem cells in amniotic fluid - a new source?
Research by Austrian geneticists has raised the possibility that stem cells[1] could be isolated from amniotic fluid - the protective 'bath water' that surrounds the unborn baby. Geneticist Professor Markus Hengstschl'¤ger and his team at the University of Vienna have isolated a subgroup of cells... view more (2003-06-27)

Chemical engineers discover new way to control particle motion potentially aiding micro- and nano-fluid systems for drug delivery, sensors, more
Chemical engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered a new way to control the motion of fluid particles through tiny channels, potentially aiding the development of micro- and nano-scale technologies such as drug delivery devices, chemical and biological sensors, and components... view more (2008-03-18)

Prematurity more accurately predicted by advances in proteomic technology
Abnormal proteins in amniotic fluid that signal a higher risk of delivering prematurely are being detected with increasing accuracy by Yale School of Medicine researchers who presented their work in two abstracts at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Conference February 8 in San Francisco.   view more (2007-02-09)

EARLY PROMISE OF NEW TECHNIQUE TO IDENTIFY BREAST CANCER
The analysis of breast-duct fluid, collected through ductal lavage (washing), could be a novel method for detecting breast-cancer cells when used in conjunction with mammography screening, conclude authors of a fast-track research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. If detected early, breast... view more (2001-04-25)

How much should athletes drink during exercise?
Exercisers must be warned that the overconsumption of fluid (either water or sports drinks) before, during, or after exercise is unnecessary and can have a potentially fatal outcome, says a sports medicine expert in this week’s BMJ.   view more (2003-07-16)

Cerebrospinal Fluid Restores Vision
A new method for visual impairment treatment has been discovered by researchers of the Institute of Human Brain, Russian Academy of Sciences. The patients suffering from visual impairment can be helped if a healthy donor's cerebrospinal fluid is introduced to the parent's vertebral canal - this... view more (2004-11-01)
